Pamor refers to the signature patterns found in ritual swords or kris, and here refers to the possibility of a sonic signature found in the sound of tuned metal. The structure of the piece is based on an abstraction of the prophetological sections of "Kidung Rumeksa Ing Wengi", which invokes embodying the virtues of the prophets.

I know of no other musician alive today who makes the listener feel like s/he's standing in front of something too old to be eternal. Record after record, Eyvind Kang has been building a singular body of work that revolves around precisely that experience. Ajaeng Ajaeng is beautifully recorded and is best appreciated as a deep listening experience; I've been playing it whilst alone in my evening walks. Kang's will reward your patience like very little music ever will. Cosmographer
